 Poster: A snowHead

........at half term. Question - my nephew is 14 years old - do I need any sort of documentation from his parents to say that he's allowed to leave the country with us - to show to the airline or whatever ?
Cheers

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

erica2004, slightly off topic, but I would suggest that you get a signed letter from his parents saying that in the event of medical emergency that you can sign to authorise treatment. Hopefully you won't need it, but better to be prepared than have to fly mum out before they can do anything like put his leg in a pot!!

erica2004, some airlines ask for this especially if his surname is different from yours but I think that's more for long haul flights. I would phone the airline/ tour operator and check if you need any documents. The law change when the requirement for individual passports came in to prevent children being taken out of the country by single parents when custody is in dispute.

erica2004, as long as you're booked together its all good. Elizabeth B, makes a valid point though, although when I went skiing with my uncle and broke my leg the only authorisation they wanted was from the Visa company!

Nadenoodlee, one of my colleagues had her son's friend staying while his parents went on holiday. He broke his leg in 3 places, but the hospital couldn't/wouldn't operate to pin it without parental consent.....and parents couldn't be contacted.

Do we need one of these for the MSB? Will I be safe with uncle Alastair Pink and auntie Elizabeth B or do I need a note from my mum?

Alastair Pink, I carry those forms whenever I take kids on a trip in the UK. Every effort will be made to cotact parents first, however if they can't (or the parents can't get to the hospital) than I can sign.
FenlandSkier, nah.....we'll just leave you in pain
